Hello!
In memory of our previous chair, Dave Bennett, Truro Cycling Club are hosting our second Dave Bennett Memorial Ride. Starting from Shortlanesend Village Hall you will have the choice of three routes taking in the best that West Cornwall has to offer.
Our two charities are Centrepoint and Cornwall Hospice Care.
Centrepoint is the UK's leading youth homelessness charity. They provide nationwide support and secure housing to young people who are homeless.
Cornwall Hospice Care is Cornwalls 24/7 charity providing compassionate and specialised end of life care for patients and their families.
Last year we managed to raise £1321 for these two excellent causes and we hope that we can raise even more this year.
Routes
This years routes are yet to be confirmed but will be very similar to last years with three options: a 40k, a 100k and a 160k. The routes will be checked, risk assessed and ridden soon so watch this space for maps and links to the all important GPX files! Please note: the routes are not signposted and we do not provide written routecards.
Provisions
You will be well stocked with multiple cafe options on the route but, most importantly, we will once again be taking over the TRA hall in Mount Hawke. Bring your shrapnel along as we ask for donations in return for homemade baked goods! Last year we had a smorgasbord of brownies, victoria sponges and more!
Extra bits
We are but a small club and so unfortunately we do not offer anything along the lines of medals or jerseys but you can go home at the end of the day knowing that you've enjoyed some of the best lanes in the South West and raised funds for two vital causes.
Want more?
We are a club with a broad range of riders based in Truro that have rides most weekends all year and in the weeknights in the summer. If you're interested in joining us then head to our website or talk to George at the start and end of the ride.
